At Martlets, we are reminded every day that life is precious, and we understand how important it is to make special memories with those we care about.

The Shear Drop will enable families and friends to enjoy precious time together and live life to the full; something we celebrate and encourage. It’s why, along with expert clinical care, Martlets provides wellbeing services, counselling, and rehabilitation. And why we deliver 80% of our care out in the community in people’s homes, helping patients and their loved ones stay together in familiar surroundings for as long as possible.

Every year, Martlets supports over 3,000 people affected by terminal illness in and around Brighton & Hove. Our expert teams help people do the things they love with the time that they have.

As a local charity, our care is only free thanks to the support of local people, businesses and trusts. An NHS grant covers a portion of our costs, but we rely on our community, to fund most of our vital services.
